For operators already trading

Move without rebuilding the business

What actually moves, what stays where it is, what breaks, and how long it takes. Written for operators who have done this once already.

The audit trail listing configuration, compliance and authentication events, each row carrying the actor, their role, their location and their device.

What moves, and what each piece depends on

No platform can promise you your own data. What arrives in the new environment depends on what your current provider will export and on the contracts around it.

What can move

Player accounts and identity
Account records, statuses and contact details
Verification statusWhether an already verified player has to verify again on day one.
Verification state, where the evidence and its audit trail travel with it
Wallet balances
Real, bonus and locked balances, reconciled before cutover
Bonus state
Active campaigns and in-flight wagering progress
Bet and transaction history
Historic records kept for reporting and regulatory retention
Game providers
Reconnection through the platform's aggregation and direct integrations
Payment providers
Your existing merchant relationships, kept in your name
Brands and domains
Brand configuration, content and domains recreated in the new environment

What it depends on

Player accounts and identity
The completeness and the format of your incumbent's export
Verification statusWhether an already verified player has to verify again on day one.
Your identity provider's terms and whether the evidence can be transferred at all
Wallet balances
A frozen window in which no new transactions are written
Bonus state
How your current engine represents progress, which is rarely portable
Bet and transaction history
Your retention obligations and the export your provider will actually produce
Game providers
Your existing studio and aggregator contracts, and whose name they are in
Payment providers
Whether each provider is already integrated or needs new integration work
Brands and domains
DNS control and the switching sequence agreed in the plan

Migration scope and services are agreed only after your current platform and your contractual obligations have been reviewed.

What actually breaks in a migration

Four failures account for most bad migrations, and three of them are decided before any data moves.

  • The export nobody checked

    The plan assumes your current provider will hand over player records, balances and history in a usable form. Ask for a sample export before you sign anything, including with us.

  • Players asked to verify again

    If verification evidence cannot travel, already verified players are treated as new ones on day one. That is a churn event with a compliance cost, not a technical detail.

  • Money in flight at cutover

    Deposits confirming, withdrawals in review and bonuses part way through wagering all have to land somewhere. The frozen window is agreed in advance, not improvised on the night.

  • Contracts that outlive the platform

    Studio, aggregator and payment agreements carry their own terms and notice periods. They decide the sequence more often than the technology does.

Most of a migration is not a data transfer.

It is a sequence of decisions taken before anything moves.

Migration discovery and planning

Plan the transition around the operation you already run.

Discuss your migration requirements

Platform migration is not a single data transfer. Live player accounts, financial records, provider contracts, brands and day to day operations all move with it, so discovery covers each one before a scope, a sequence or a cutover date is agreed.

Provisioning takes hours. Getting to a live, trading casino also depends on licence approval, payment onboarding and content agreements, which we sequence with you.

  1. Player and account records

    Identify the player data, account states and history that has to exist in the new environment.

  2. Wallet, balance and ledger data

    Review how real, bonus and locked balances are recorded, reconciled and carried through the plan.

  3. Active providers and integrations

    Map the game, payment, identity, infrastructure and support relationships that affect the deployment.

  4. Brands and configuration

    Define which brands, settings, roles and operating boundaries need to be represented in Scalara.

  5. Transition and validation

    Establish the responsibilities, sequencing and validation required before a cutover can be planned.

Validation before the cutover, not after it

A cutover is scheduled, sequenced and checked against the plan. What gets validated, by whom and in what order is agreed before a date is set.

  • Reconcile the balances

    Real, bonus and locked balances are compared against the source before the switch is approved.

  • Check a sample of player records

    Account state, verification state and history are inspected on real accounts rather than on row counts.

  • Replay the audit trail

    Every action taken during the transition lands in one searchable, tamper-evident stream you can read afterwards.

  • Agree the frozen window

    The period in which no new transactions are written is agreed with you, not announced to you.

The deposits screen with a reconciliation notice above totals for deposited, failed, paid and net amounts, and a breakdown by the currency players paid with.

Request a migration plan built on your current platform

Tell us what you run today, how many brands and players sit on it, and what is forcing the move. We will come back with what we would need to see before any scope is agreed.

Request a migration plan

Name, work email, company and the three pickers are required. The rest helps us prepare.

Questions operators ask before they move

In most cases yes, and the assessment comes first. What matters is what your current provider will export, in what format, and what your contract permits.

Player identities, balances, bonus states, verification history and transaction records each need a defined destination on the platform, and some of them need decisions from you about how history is represented. We would rather tell you early that something cannot move cleanly than discover it during a cutover weekend.

Balances migrate as balances, with real, bonus and locked amounts kept apart rather than merged into one figure, because merging them destroys the terms attached to the bonus part.

Active bonuses need a decision from you: carry the remaining wagering requirement across, settle it before the move, or honour it manually. Each option has a player communication attached. We plan that before the cutover, and the ledger records the migration itself so the opening position is auditable.

Not automatically, but it depends on what you can bring with you. If your existing verification records can be exported with enough evidence attached, they can be represented in the player's compliance tier on the platform.

Where the evidence is thin or the format cannot be reconciled, the honest answer is that some players will need to be verified again. It is better to know which ones before the move than to find out at their first withdrawal.

Four things. A description of your current stack and which parts you intend to keep. A sample of the data you can export, or at least the schema. Your contractual position with the incumbent, including notice and extraction rights. And your licence and market footprint, because that decides what is possible rather than what is convenient.

With those we can tell you what moves cleanly, what needs rebuilding, and roughly how long it takes.

On the Turnkey Platform route you keep your own payment relationships, because you hold the licence and the operation. On White Label, payments run through the orchestration that sits under our licence, which is part of what the route provides.

If you have an existing provider you need to keep, raise it in discovery. The answer depends on the route, the market and the provider, and we would rather scope it properly than agree in principle and renegotiate later.

In the deployment your brand runs on, hosted through our infrastructure partner CloudWalker. On a dedicated deployment that is your own environment, and where it sits is a decision we take with you rather than a default we apply, because residency is often driven by your licence and your target markets.

On shared deployments, brands remain separated at the identity and account level. If residency is a hard requirement, bring it to discovery early, because it shapes the deployment plan.

Still deciding whether the move is worth it

Read our two routes against each other and put your own volumes through the calculator first. A migration that has to be unwound costs more than the one you never started.
